About Eagle Park Community School
Eagle Park Community School is the day school run by the Northwest Indiana Special Education Cooperative on West 97th Place in Crown Point, serving students with emotional and developmental concerns from the cooperative's member districts: Hanover, Highland, Hobart, Lake Ridge, Lake Station, River Forest and Tri-Creek. The cooperative has served students with disabilities in this part of Lake County since 1970.
Our curriculum follows the Indiana Academic Standards from kindergarten through 12th grade, and instruction is research-based and matched to what each student's data shows. Reading draws on Savvas myView and myPerspectives, the Edmark Reading Program, the Wilson Reading Program, News2you and Reading A to Z, and math uses Touch Math, Mammoth Math and Math Seeds. Teachers post daily lessons, assignments and materials in Google Classroom.
A registered school nurse and a school safety coordinator are on staff, and we serve breakfast and lunch. Our students also make artwork that is shown and sold through the Eagle Park art sales.
